Otherwise, if Jingcheng doesn't want to help, but you don't know how to flatter him, what's the point?It means that you are human and have sympathy, but I am not human without sympathy?
All he needs to do is to investigate everything beforehand. If the eldest lady really has an idea, she will naturally ask him.
What's more, since that night, the feeling that the eldest lady has brought to her is too uncertain, and she is afraid that if she says something wrong, she will be thrown into the cold palace.
And being thrown into the cold palace is absolutely unacceptable to Steward Wang!
Woooooo, I don't want to leave Missy, I want to be Missy's dog for the rest of my life!
So at this time, after hearing the young lady's initiative to ask, he, who already had sympathy for Lin Nan, naturally told all the things he knew in order to win the young lady's mercy.
After all, even if Jingcheng only gave a little favor, Lin Nan might be able to change his fate.
Butler Wang really sympathized with this little girl who had suffered so much.
16. Brighter Than Light
Seeing Butler Wang's eager eyes, Jing Cheng looked away in disgust, not feeling at all that his actions had caused much harm to Butler Wang's fragile heart.
It's so hot!
Let's talk about why Lin Nan was so lonely in the mourning hall before, but he didn't ask for his health. This is an abnormal phenomenon.
After all, Lin Tiannan's pension is absolutely astronomical for ordinary people. With this amount of money alone, relatives should rush to adopt her.
It turned out that the money was not enough to repay Lin Tiannan's debts before his death, so no one would accept this hot potato.
It's not heartless, but what if she is adopted?What if Lin Tiannan's former creditor came to him?
Even if Lin Nan did not receive Lin Tiannan's pension, these debts do not belong to Lin Nan legally, so what?
In some people's eyes, the death debt is useless.
In this case, Lin Nan is a problem.
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Of course, Jingcheng understood the reason why Butler Wang deliberately highlighted Lin Nan's misery.
The temperature of the scented tea gradually faded, Jingcheng picked up the cup and took a sip, his eyes didn't fluctuate because of Wang Butler's description, they were still elusive and indifferent.
---
It was raining, and the smoke was rolling in the clouds.
In the cemetery, the standing tombstones record the memory of the city in the past hundred years. Each of them is an independent story, whether happy or sad, complete or incomplete, and also carries the thoughts of the living.
Lin Tiannan was buried just now.
The number of people attending the funeral was extremely sparse.
And his tomb coffin and mourning hall were arranged at the expense of his uncle.
Although his uncle had been cheated of a lot of money by him and had cut off contact with him long ago, his heart softened after all.
After all, it was too late to spit, and no one wanted to organize Lin Tiannan's funeral. If he, as an elder, didn't take over, then no one would care.
The dead are the greatest, so let's accrue virtue.
Before the new simple tombstone, Lin Tiannan's uncle sighed.
"Be a good person in your next life."
He said this earnestly, and then looked at the little girl beside him.
There was light rain, and Lin Nan, who was thinly dressed and thin, stood blankly in front of the tombstone.
She was... at a loss, maybe she was wondering about the next road.
Seeing this, he handed over the umbrella he was holding in his hand.
"Don't catch a cold."
Hearing this, Lin Nan immediately took the umbrella with both hands, kept bowing, and said timidly and flusteredly.
"thanks, thanks."
How can a middle-aged person not know that this little girl has a big psychological problem, and the perennial domestic violence has caused big problems in her character and values.
Yes, Lin Nan's values are indeed extremely distorted.
She was very young and had no cognitive ability. She didn't know why her father beat her for no reason. She only felt that she had done something wrong and didn't know where it was wrong, so she could only deny herself and had a very low self-worth. cognition.
In order to alleviate her father's beating and scolding, she learned to please, and thus shaped into a pleaser personality, subconsciously pleasing everyone.
But while pleasing, she was also afraid. After all, pleasing was born in order to avoid some violence, which led to her low self-esteem, sensitivity, and cowardice.
But although the man is very sympathetic, there is nothing he can do.
After all, he is just an ordinary person with a family and children to support.
"There is still a long way to go, so be strong."
He patted Lin Nan's thin and boneless shoulders, and said heavily.
After the funeral, some of the already scattered crowd left again, while the rest stayed to eat.
It's definitely not for Lin Tiannan, but just a few relatives who haven't seen each other for a long time, so they get together.
At this time, Jingcheng was also getting ready to leave by car.
Of course, she didn't attend the funeral, but was in the waiting room. After all, she was able to come in person in her capacity. To be honest, it was a shame for the sky, and it was impossible to go to the outside world to stand with these ordinary people.
Inside the car, Jingcheng looked through the car window at the outside world, which was overcast and green and drizzled continuously.
And where her eyes landed was Lin Nan who was standing blankly in front of the tombstone, even though he had an umbrella in his hand, he had never held it up.
In front of the new tombstone in the rain, a bouquet of white chrysanthemums was lying and swaying slightly in the cold wind. Its delicate appearance was just like Lin Nan in front of the tomb. Withered, can no longer feel the sun's rays, or maybe.. never felt the sun's rays.
Jingcheng withdrew his faint gaze and stopped looking.
There is so much misery in the world, how can she manage it, and what does it have to do with her.
What's more, Steward Wang's attitude is already obvious. Even if Jing Cheng doesn't speak up, he will still secretly help Lin Nan afterwards.
The communication between the two is limited to this.
The vehicle starts slowly.
In the rain, Lin Nan stood blankly in front of the tombstone for a long, long time.
The wind was blowing very loudly, tugging at her skirt and hair.
Her back is confused, empty and restless.
----
At night, Lin Nan returned home.
The house is too big, and the decoration and furniture are relatively old. It should be some years old. Even the white paint on the wall has peeled off a lot and cracked.
There is still a faint smell of alcohol in the air, and the beer cans scattered in front of the sofa are still there.
The empty Lin Nan subconsciously prepared to clean up. After all, if Dad came back and saw that the garbage at home had not been cleaned up, he would definitely beat and scold him.
But when she stretched out her hand in the air, she stopped.
By the way.. Dad is dead.
Inexplicably, she felt so cold from the inside out.
Then she turned on all the lights in the room, and the blinding white light dispelled the darkness.
But Lin Nan still felt that it wasn't enough, so he pulled the curtains so that there was no gap, and finally squatted down in the corner with his knees hugged, trying to force himself to feel a little safe.
Ah... Dad is dead.
Then I don't need to be beaten anymore... This seems to be something that should be happy, but why is I so strange...
Lin Nan couldn't express how she felt at this time, but felt that her body seemed to be falling unstoppably.
She is terrified of her father's feelings, because in her memory, her father never showed a smiling face in front of her, always disgusted and impatient, and always beat and scolded herself.
This also gave Lin Nan a sense of security only when he was alone at home.
Because of this, you don't have to be afraid that your father will beat you.
But obviously from now on, I don't have to worry about my father hitting me...but why?
Probably next, they will go to the orphanage they said.
I don't know if someone will beat me inside?Could it be that my father... actually loves me too?It's just that the way is wrong... After all, he never abandoned me, right?
Lin Nan suddenly felt so confused and confused, the feeling of nowhere to find and nowhere to go deeply enveloped her heart.
Tears fell from her empty eye sockets and flowed down her white cheeks.
From then on, in this world... I don't have any relatives.
She is an orphan now.
Lin Nan, who was curled up in the corner, couldn't help but bury his face in his knees, and his shoulders shrugged uncontrollably.
"It's dangerous for a child to stay at home alone without closing the door, you know?"
The indifferent and cold voice came out, and the startled Lin Nan suddenly raised his head.
What she saw was Jing Cheng standing in the living room with a tall and elegant figure and an aloof and cold face.
She happened to be standing under the lamp, which was more dazzling than the light.
17. cry
In the middle of the living room of the old house, Jing Cheng stood under the lamp, wearing a fiery red dress, which was supposed to be a hot and outgoing color, but for some reason, she looked extraordinarily cold and cold.
She just looked at Lin Nan who was squatting in the corner, the coldness and indifference in her beautiful eyes made people daunted.
Lin Nan, who had many tears on his face and flushed eyes, was stunned for a moment.
Her shallow vocabulary does not know how to describe the feeling at this time. If she insisted on describing it, she probably saw a fairy, like a fairy descending from the fairy tale.
Otherwise, she really couldn't understand why there was such a sister who was out of tune with the surrounding environment and even more dazzling than the light in her dilapidated home.
"I came in when I saw that the door was not closed. Remember to close the door next time you are alone at home."
Listening to the dull tone, Lin Nan turned around immediately, and subconsciously curled up even more with his arms around his legs, trembling on his face where the tears hadn't completely dried up.
"Who... who are you?"
But just after asking, she suddenly remembered.
This is the elder sister that my aunt asked me to call my benefactor at my father's funeral today.
As I said at the time, maybe it was the yearning for beautiful things. She had never seen such beautiful food, but even with just one glance, she deeply remembered Jing Cheng's figure.
"Just call me Jingcheng."
After finishing speaking, Jingcheng looked around the house, as if looking for a place to sit down, but seeing some beer cans and broken peanuts on the old sofa, she just pulled the stool beside her and patted it dust, sat down on his own.
Seeing this, Lin Nan immediately lowered his head and was speechless, it was speechless for the embarrassing family situation.
Then she wiped away the tears on her face, subconsciously got up and went to make tea for Jingcheng.
After all, when my father's friends came, they would ask her to make tea. If she moved slowly, she would be scolded as a thing without eyesight.
But when the cup was washed and the tea was brewed and brought to Jingcheng, he suddenly realized something.
Seeing Jingcheng's extremely gorgeous attire and the tea brewed from inferior tea in her hand, she pursed her lips and prepared to take it away.
But at this moment, a faint voice came.
"Thank you."
Hearing this, Lin Nan looked up, and what he saw was the cold eyes on that glamorous face, which still seemed to be indifferent to everything.
She subconsciously shrunk away from her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then put the water glass on the table in front of Jingcheng.
And Jingcheng looked at the steaming tea, and then at Lin Nan who was standing in front of her with his head lowered, very uneasy.
"You're obviously scared, but why didn't you ask me why I came here?"
"You are... a great benefactor... I am not afraid."
"Lie." Jing Cheng's voice had a clear and natural feeling of alienation, coupled with the words at this time, it also made Lin Nan tremble subconsciously, and buried his head even lower, trembling.
Looking at the precocious little girl in front of her from a certain angle, she has initially learned to observe words and expressions, and knows how to avoid harm by pleasing her, and she has an extremely cowardly personality.
Of course, Jingcheng knows why this kind of personality comes from, or she can guess it. It is nothing more than her experience since she was a child, which makes her values wrong.
